Ingredient Swap
Hey all,
I thought this might be a cool idea, since us VegWebber's live all over the place! I know some of my homies in NZ have a hard time finding Latin/ Mexican ingredients that I find in abundance... I love little swaps and gift exchanges, and even just sending peeps "presents" out of the kindness of my little vegan heart...
If you have access to something cool, let us know!
If you run into some weird spice, condiment, or ingredient that you want to share do so!
I have access to basically anything in Viva Vegan (Latin/Mexican)... Dried chilies, spices, garbanzo bean flour, nut yeast, you name it...
I also have an Indian grocery store right down the street and have access to black salt (for that distinct "eggy smell") and an abundance of other spices...
There is a Persian market across the street with spices, condiments, and chilies, dried fruits, dried beans of all kinds, exotic flours, etc
2 health food stores with tons of hard to find products and vegan goodies... Trader Joe's right down the street
I do have access to Asian ingredients as well, but it's a little drive (15 minutes North... Nothing like FB's Asian loot though)
If you run into something in a cookbook that you haven't seen/ heard of shout out!
Yes, but the point is to exchange things with other vegwebbers. Trades are more fun than ordering online and besides, where online can we get a nude picture of secondbase?! >:D
I shudder to think... :-D

ya i agree... i would rather exchange online so a fellow homie can also benefit... of course you can find whatever your little heart desires online these days :)
i can offer home dried cherries and morrel mushrooms.
I reside in Los Angeles so the multicultural offerings here include:
Chinese
Japanese
Ethiopian
Mexican
I also live near the largest Whole Foods in the West Coast, several Trader Joe's, Bristol Farms and Gelsons.
Happy to do a trade in exchange for black cocoa powder and Watkins caramel extract, which I have a hard time finding here.
alright, sooooo wanna participate, i have...... wait for it...... home canned goods, including the most fucking amazing pickels you ever laid anything on, canned tomatos, canned cerries (as previously mentioned in another thread) dried cherries, fucking dried morrels.....<-- them bitches are spppensive! (i picked them myself + xtra love)..... ((((love)))) <--- plenty o' that shit to go round! who's up for randomness of exchanging????
**(love) doesn't always include secretments....
eta: a picture of base naked also included.. which may or may not get lost in the mail. representations of actual people are unintentional, base of course is fictional.
My parcel arrived from Storm today!!
There was, among other goodies, a small jar of hing (aka asafetida). My goodness, that name is well chosen! I could smell it even through the sealed package and the plastic ziplock bag it was in! I put it in another ziplock and have stored it in the "bastard compartment" of my freezer: a tiny tray right-up-top where supposedly you're supposed to make icecubes but it's so small I only use it for freezing coldpacks.
